MWTA British Championships - Success!

Master Wolf’s Taekwon-Do Academies (MWTA) Championships Success.

Master Wolf's Taekwon-Do Academies (MWTA) proudly presented the MWTA British Championships, which was held on Saturday the 1st of May, in a new venue, at the Winter Gardens, Margate.


The main hall at the Winter Gardens was presented extremely well and looked very professional with 7-matted areas. The running of the tournament was second to none, with plenty of umpires and referees working throughout the day. Master Wolf and black belts and instructors from MWTA and other organizations ran an very efficient days event.

In attendance as a specially honored guest, was the Secretary General of the ITF (International Taekwon-Do Federation), Master Nicholls, 8th degree. Master Nicholls presented medals throughout the whole days event, and the medal winners felt privileged to be presented with their awards by an 8th degree Master.
Many of the competitors mentioned that it was a great honor to be in the company of two 8th degree Masters, working together at this event.


The tournament included both pattern and sparring categories, and was open to colour belt and black belt competitors, both junior and senior. The competitors included members from other groups around the UK and Europe, and teams traveled from as far as Inverness in Scotland, Ireland and Belgium to take part in the event.
There were also divisions, which catered for children as young as 4-years old, which starred the MWTA Wolf Cub members.
The Wolf Cubs were inspirational, not only showing outstanding discipline and mature sportsmanship, but also great competitive spirit.
The Cubs ages range from 4 to 10-years. They displayed amazing talent in their sparring ability, and most shocked of all, were the parents of some of the children who could not believe that their child was capable of such intense focus, as well as mental and physical discipline.

The tournament finale was the amazing Team Event, which upstaged even last years! This featured many of MWTA’s European and World Champions.
It was an incredible display of Taekwon-Do skills and with an amazing atmosphere generated by the crowd and the showmanship of the competitors, it was a spectacular event enjoyed by all, especially the competitors!

Within the next few years we hope to build this tournament into a major event that is renowned throughout the UK and Europe, and brings hundreds of competitors to Thanet.
Proceeds from this tournament and any future fundraising is being put towards the ever-increasing costs of sending the MWTA students to International tournaments such as the ITF World Championships in Korea in July of this year. 17-members of MWTA have qualified to represent their country at this World Championships. MWTA look to sponsor as many students as possible, availing local people the opportunity to bring more success to the area. Any companies or individuals, willing to aid in sponsorship for Korea 2010, or future events, would be greatly appreciated.

MWTA would like to thank the following companies who kindly provided donations and sponsorship for this event, Lilybrook Developments Limited, Hub Enterprise, Two Chimneys Caravan Park, Giorgios and Kabuki and Icris Insurance Services.

Many thanks also to Paul Palmer – Winter Gardens Manager and his team for their hard work and professionalism, and also Warren Mitchell and Thanet Leisure Force for their support.
Master Wolf would like to especially extend his thanks and gratitude to all of the sponsors and special thanks to all of the people who worked so hard to make this tournament a success and once again thanks to Master Nicholls for his support of these championships, it was greatly appreciated. Well done to all of the students who competed, from the UK and Europe.
